NOTES AND QUERIES.

a similar capacity, devised lands at Potteni, Can- 

 iiings, &c., in Wiltshire, to the same parties. 



William llingborne died March 10 in the same 

 year, and Robert Ringborne was his son and heir, 

 and aged thirteen. 



I give these facts for what they are worth, and 

 I put them forth in the hope of eliciting farther 

 information bearing upon this ancient, and, con- 

 sidering the renown of the bishop, curious and 

 somewhat interesting controversy. C. E. L. 



LOST SAINTS OF CHURCHES AND CHAPELS IN THE 

 DIOCESE OF CHICHESTER. 



If any reader of your valuable work can afford 

 information on the following points it will be most 

 thankfully received, premising that my inquiries 

 are limited to the three western Rapes of Sussex. 



Ecton and Bacon (the latter in 1786) published 

 editions of the Valor Ecclesiasticus, translated. 

 To these they appended the name of the saint or 

 saints to whom the parish churches and chapels 

 within the parishes were dedicated. Query, On 

 what authority do their statements rest ? Where 

 is the list? They do not give any reference. 

 The Valor itself gives only one chapel (that of St. 

 Leonard, near Horsham), and some of the churches 

 in Chichester, Lewes, and Hastings. They must 

 have had some work or manuscript to refer to. 

 I have been engaged in hunting up those to which 

 they do not assign a patron saint, and in verifying 

 their statements, for these three years and more. 

 I have disinterred a large number of the unknown, 

 and yet many in each Rape I cannot find. In 

 some oi their assigned saints, the authorities I have 

 consulted differ, toto coilo ! 



For the following parishes and chapels within 

 their precincts, and in the respective Rapes, I stall' 

 feel most grateful either for precise information, 

 and the authority for it, or for any clue that will 

 enable me to obtain the lost saints : — 



Arundel Rape. 

 Barlavington, Burton or Bodecton, Cudlawe, 

 Gretham, Kingston near Ferring, North Stoke, 

 Tortington, Wykenholt, Yapton, and its chapel 

 at Bilsham, and Westburton chapel in Bury ; 

 Bargeham, now united to Angmering ; Loxwood 

 chapel in Wisborough Green. 



Chichester Rape. 

 Bepton, Binderton, Chidham and the chapel at 

 Nutbourne, Cocking, East Dean, Bracklesham, 

 Ernley and Almoditon, Fishborne, Iping, Hey- 

 shott, Chilgrove chapel, Chithurst, Lurgashall, 

 Lythe cBapel in Trotton, West Marden, North 

 Marden, Merston, Milland chapel in Ti-otton, 

 supposed to be identical with Lythe chapel afore- 

 said ; North Mundham, Oving, Racton, Lording- 

 ton, Upwaltham, Eston chapel in Sidlesham. 



Bramher Rape. 

 Ashurst, Cowfold, Combes, Clapham, Durring- 

 ton chapel in West Tarring, Sompting, Woodman-

" Hundredschot." — From an inquisition post 

 mortem of the lands, &c., of Walter de Euermuth, 

 at Runham, Norfolk, it appears that he received, 

 as lord of two-thirds of the manor of Runham, 

 amongst other profits, " de quoda redd, que voca- 

 tur hundredschot, vis. \i\d. ob." And Allic. da 

 Euermuth had "woie dotis" the remaining third 

 part of the manor ; and, amongst its profits, " de 

 quoda redd ass que vocatur hundredschot, iii*. iid." 



Can any reader of " N. & Q." inform me what 

 "hundredschot" was? and what the contraction 

 " ass" represents ? E. G. R. 



Somersetshire Churches. — Warton, Observations 

 on the Fairy Queen (vol. ii. p. 193., edit. 1762), 

 says : — 



" Most of the churches in Somersetshire, which are re- 

 markably elegant, are in the stile of the Florid Goth.io. 

 The reason of this : Somersetshire in the civil wars be- 

 tween York and Lancaster was strongly and entirely at- 

 tached to the Lancastrian party. In reward for tJiis 

 service, Henry VII., when he came to the crown, rebuilt 

 their churches. " 



Is there any authority for this statement re- 

 specting the churches of Somersetshire ? E. M.

Clausich^ Verolce : Diseases of Sheep. — I have 

 recently purchased Cowell's Interpreter. It was 

 first published in 1607, but my copy is of the date 

 1701, and lias Sir Wm. Blackstone's book-plate. 

 Among many other curious articles are the fol- 

 lowing two accounts of epidemics among sheep in 

 former days : — 



" Clausick, Clausike. The Claw-sickness, or Foot- rot in 

 sheep. An. 1277 invaluit generalis scabies oviuin per uni- 

 versam regionem Angliae, quae a vulgo dicebatur clausick, 

 per quam infectae sunt omnes terrae, ad quarum scabiem 

 abolendam ad inventa est quajdam unctio confecta ex 

 vivo argento et uncto porcino. (^Ayinal. Warverl, sub An.) 

 We have not lost the Disease, nor found a better Receipt 

 for it." 



" Verolce. Some distemper incident to Sheep. Cui ap- 

 paruit Dominus Dicens, Filiole, quid facis hie ? et respon- 

 dit, Domine custodio Oves meas de Verolis et Clausike . . . 

 salventur Oves istae de Verolis et Clausike et omnibus 

 aliis infirmitatibus in honore Domini Nostri Jesu Christi. 

 Amen. Fragment of a Legend in Consuetud. Domus de 

 Farendon, MS,, f. 48." 



So for Cowell or his continuator. I have no 

 doubt that verolce was variolce, the sheep- pox ; 

 which within these last few years has been jntro-
